minute holiday somewhere hot i'm in cheshire, where there is a beautiful sunrise this morning. bookings at campsites like this are down because of that bad weather. we will be hanging out with people who have braved the weather and are staying here no matter what, and my goodness they are looking for some goodness they are looking for some good news from carol. find goodness they are looking for some good news from carol.— good news from carol. and we are lookin: at good news from carol. and we are looking at a _ good news from carol. and we are looking at a dry. _ good news from carol. and we are looking at a dry, sunny _ good news from carol. and we are looking at a dry, sunny and - good news from carol. and we are looking at a dry, sunny and warml good news from carol. and we are i looking at a dry, sunny and warm day for most of us. there could be some showers later onto the west then a more unsettled period with sunshine and showers for the next few days. it's thursday the 10th august. our main story... northern ireland's chief constable will be questioned this morning about the data breach which saw the names and workplaces of 10,000 police officers and staff published online. human error was blamed and the information was taken down

but there are fears that it could still be used by dissident republicans to launch new attacks on the police. 0ur ireland correspondent, chris page, reports. a data breach on this scale would be extremely serious anywhere, but in northern ireland it's all the more so. there are fears the information could be used by paramilitary groups to target police officers. the surnames and work locations of all 10,000 police staff were put online for two hours. the problem came about after a routine request for data under freedom of information laws, but the police sent a huge excel spreadsheet by mistake and it contained personal details. senior officers are stressing there's no specific concern at the moment that the data leak has caused an immediate security risk. but politicians say they're looking for actions which will reassure everyone affected.

the chief constable, simon byrne, has cut short his holiday to be at the policing board's emergency meeting. board members say they want to hear a full assessment of the security risk. i do think that this whole senior leadership team has to answer questions, but i think, first and foremost, we need to have those in front of not only the public and the policing board, but the internal officers as well. yesterday, the police said they were investigating a second data breach. injuly, a laptop and documents were stolen from a car. they included the names of 200 workers. it's only a few months since the official threat level for terrorism in northern ireland was raised from substantial to severe. that came following the shooting of a detective, john caldwell, by dissident republicans who are opposed to the peace process. the attempted murder brought into sharp focus again the particular dangers for the security forces here. chris page, bbc news, belfast.

we will talk more about the implications of that story later in the programme. the rest of the news today, including a tragedy in the mediterranean. officials in italy are investigating the deaths of 41 migrants who died in a shipwreck off the italian island of lampedusa. four people who survived said their boat capsized when it was hit by a huge wave, hours after setting off from tunisia. 0ur reporter sofia bettiza has more. this is the moment three young adults and a child were found adrift in the mediterranean sea. and it's really important and urgent if you could support these people, possibly taking them on board... they were spotted by the crew of a plane run by a migrant charity, which called out to a passing ship for help. can you give food and water? their original boat had capsized and sunk, throwing the 45 people on board into the water.

we are getting them on board... but these four, originally from the ivory coast and guinea, were the only ones to survive and make it safely on board the cargo vessel. translation: the four migrants rescued by the coastguard - arrived at lampedusa. they say they survived by hanging onto inflatable rubber devices. then they clung to an abandoned motorless boat for days until their rescue. translation: the survivors are two men and one woman in their 20s - and a 13—year—old boy. they only had small cuts and bruises and were dehydrated. shipwrecks like these are becoming more frequent. in the last few days, more than 2,000 migrants have been rescued and brought to lampedusa. according to the united nations, this is by far the most dangerous migrant crossing in the world.

and it's a political issue as well. italy's right—wing government under giorgia meloni was elected on a promise to clamp down on illegal migration. but so far this year, nearly 94,000 migrants have reached italy by sea. that's already double last year's figure. so for all the tough talk, more people are arriving here, and still many others are dying trying to make it. immigration continues to be one of the most controversial political issues across europe. it played a key role in the rise of nationalist parties across the continent over the past decade. and while that debate rages all the time, yet more lives are being lost. sofia bettiza, bbc news, rome. devastating wildfires in the us

state of hawaii have killed at least six people. large parts of the tourist town of lahaina on the island of maui have been burned to the ground. the flames spread rapidly, forcing some people to jump into the sea to escape. hospitals have been overwhelmed with burns patients and those suffering from smoke inhalation. the homeware retailer wilko has suspended home deliveries as it tries to find a rescue deal to avoid collapse. the company told online customers it is unable to deliver any orders, instead instructing shoppers to use its "click and collect" service or to look for items in store. wilko has around 400 shops and 12,000 employees. patients waiting for treatment could skip queues in hospital if they are willing to travel to other parts of england for private or nhs care. the plans announced by nhs england are aimed at reducing the backlog

and will see patients matched with availablility for cancer and diagnostic checks and outpatient appointments. staffordshire police say it is treating a fire at a well—known18th—century pub near dudley, in the west midlands, as arson. the crooked house, described as "britain's wonkiest pub," was largely destroyed by a blaze on saturday night. it was then bulldozed, which the local council said was "unauthorised, unacceptable, and possibly unlawful". here's louisa pilbeam. what's left of the 250—year—old pub has now been searched by a specialist fire service dog that can sniff out accelerants used in arson. it's now a crime scene, with police confirming they believe the fire was started deliberately. this is what "britain's wonkiest pub" used to look like — an 18th century landmark, famous for its leaning walls, that became a favourite with tourists and locals. people in the black country want answers. access was blocked to the fire brigade. we need answers as to why that happened and how the fire started and who started the fire

and for what reason. and we also need answers on why they demolished what was left of the site. the crooked house pub caught fire late on saturday night. on monday, footage emerged of the remainder of the building being demolished. the local council says it didn't agree to this and are investigating if it was unlawful. police say they understand the shock and upset from local people, and are leading the criminal investigation. the bbc has approached the owners of the pub for comment but has not received a response. some historical organisations have called for it to be reconstructed. but others believe that's unrealistic and that this damage is too severe to pick up the pieces now. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. a special edition 50 pence coin has been created to mark the coronation of king charles. five million coins will be issued,

with a design based on westminster abbey, where the coronation took place. there are currently 27 billion coins in circulation from the queen's reign. so we will have another 5 million with king charles. and yet people seem to be using cash less frequently these days. i never used my card, i always used cash. but because of the pandemic, behaviour has changed. i very rarely use coins, unless i giving the bill for coffee with carol. actually, you bought coffee yesterday, i will admit it. and i hardly ever carry cash, like the queen used to be! we are easily

in their mid—teens already, 17—18. but there are fog patches to look out for in southern areas. for most of us, warm with sunny spells. this morning, a lot of dry weather, we have areas of cloud, across the north at the moment, but they will tend to break up, and at times with cloud the sunshine will be hazy. we could have isolated showers in wales, the west midlands, northern ireland, central and southern scotland, but they will be hit and miss, most of us will miss them. later, some showers in the isles of scilly. a southerly breeze today, feeling muggy to start with and through the day. temperatures 15 in the north, 26 in the south. we could hit 27 or 28 in cambridgeshire, east anglia and the west midlands. this

evening and overnight, this weather front coming in from the west. pushing north and east. the heaviest rain will be in northern ireland and scotland, you might hear the odd rumble of thunder. cloudy and damp as the tail end of the weather front moves east. but it will be another muqqy moves east. but it will be another muggy night. tomorrow we start with the rain in the north—east of scotland but it tends to pull away. a lot of dry weather again, showers through the course of the day in the north of the country but not all of us will catch one. cloud is not too far away from the english channel. as that comes into southern areas that could turn the sunshine hazy. we could see the odd shower in the north—east later. it will be muggy in the south—east but more fresh in central and western areas. it's 13 minutes past six.

canadian musician robbie robertson, guitarist and songwriter for the rock group the band, has died. in a career spanning nearly seven decades, he wrote some of their best—known songs, including the weight, and was bob dylan's lead guitarist in the 19605 and 70s. tim allman looks back on his life. # by may the 10th, richmond had fell #. 1976 — the band's farewell concert and the night they drove 0ld dixie down. # the night they drove old dixie down. # when all the bells were ringing #. he may not have provided the vocals, but this was very much the work of robbie robertson. a canadian writing a song about the american civil war, full of passion, poignancy and power. tributes poured in on social media following the announcement of his death. singer songwriter neil diamond said, "the music world lost a great one with the passing of robbie robertson. keep making that beautiful

noise in the sky, robbie. i'll miss you." and the rolling stones' ronnie wood said, "such sad news about robbie robertson. he was a lovely man, a great friend, and will be dearly missed." robbie robertson was born in toronto in 1943. he left home at 16 to pursue a music career, forming the band in 1967. they made their name as a backing group for bob dylan, helping influence his transition from folk artist to rock star. after the band broke up, he pursued a solo career, but also became a film composer, forging a close working relationship with the director martin scorsese. robbie robertson carried on working pretty much until the day he died. he once said of his music that he started from a place where he had no idea what to do, and then some light shines through and it turns

into something magical. let's take a look at today's papers... the telegraph reports that up to a third of rishi sunak�*s cabinet will ask him to campaign for leaving the european convention on human rights at the next general election if flights to rwanda are blocked by the courts. the guardian says one in three students starting university this year might opt to live at home. the paper quotes research that found rising costs and family needs were affecting the "covid generation" of school leavers. the daily mail reports on what it calls a �*mortgage price war�* after several high profile lenders cut their rates. the paper also carries an image of prince harry, who it says has had his hrh title removed from the royal family's website. inside the

papers today, we will be talking later about research into brain cancer, and law are's story. in the times, a deal is close for the uk to join the eu's horizons scheme, with sources in london and brussels saying they expect an announcement soon as next month following significant progress. we are talking a lot about the weather today. i only pay close attention to carol when the weather is good. we are out on campsites as well because so many people are hoping for a break. how do you think seal pups have been

carol is about the only one who isn't confused by it all. this carol is about the only one who isn't confused by it all.- carol is about the only one who isn't confused by it all. this is a sto we isn't confused by it all. this is a story we reported _ isn't confused by it all. this is a story we reported a _ isn't confused by it all. this is a story we reported a couple - isn't confused by it all. this is a story we reported a couple of l story we reported a couple of weekends ago. an 80—year—old former 0lympian with parkinson's disease will be one of three passengers on board virgin galactic�*s first space tourism flight when it blasts off from new mexico later today. jon goodwin, from newcastle, will board the vss unity fora 90—minute trip, after securing his ticket 18 years ago! that is a long time. sophie long can tell us more. i've been waiting a quarter of my life on this earth to go into space. at 80 years old, jon goodwin is an 0lympian, an accomplished adventurer, and now almost an astronaut. this has been a long time coming. he bought his ticket for $200,000 nearly 20 years ago. jon goodwin... here he is talking to

bbc breakfast in 2014. i was never...envisaged wanting to go into space, but the opportunity as a bit of an adventurer to actually go to 70 miles high, see the curvature of the earth, the blackness of space, going weightless, and all these things, was an opportunity that i couldn't miss. the news he received that same year made him think he might. jon was diagnosed with parkinson's disease, which damages parts of the brain, and its progression is impossible to predict. i was pretty convinced that they were going to turn round to me and say, "you're not able to go." but they have been fantastic. the fact that i can defy my parkinson's... three years ago, i climbed kilimanjaro and cycled down, just to prove that it wasn't going to get me. and this is the same thing.

going to space despite the parkinson's... and sojon is now finally preparing to board the spaceship unity. he'll bejoined on his mission by keisha schahaff from antigua and her daughter, ana mayers, who studies in aberdeen. they'll be the first mother and daughter to travel together to space. such an interesting man. he is one of the most incredible people i've ever met. he's such a daredevil. this guy lives. as we re—enter the atmosphere, it creates a very loud noise. - the three have undergone four days of training at spaceport america. the pilots who will be in control, much more. so this is the flight simulator where the pilots do the vast majority of their on—the—ground training, and they'll actually come in here hours before the actual mission itself and do one last flight profile with all the latest data to hand. at the moment, conditions look perfect. all three hope their adventure will be an inspiration to others to reach beyond what they think is possible.

some 800 people have already bought tickets in the hope of following in their footsteps and their flight path. the sky is no longer the limit. sophie long, bbc news, spaceport america, new mexico. he isa he is a real character. he comes from newcastle—under—lyme. isaid he is a real character. he comes from newcastle—under—lyme. i said to him he could be the first potter to go into space and he reckons he is the first 0lympian to go into space. quite a claim to fame. that the first olympian to go into space. quite a claim to fame.— quite a claim to fame. that is takin: quite a claim to fame. that is taking off _ quite a claim to fame. that is taking off later— quite a claim to fame. that is taking off later today - quite a claim to fame. that is taking off later today from - quite a claim to fame. that is. taking off later today from new mexico. still to come on breakfast... do you prefer being face—to—face with your colleagues or have you enjoyed the flexibility of working from home? video calls helped to make remote working possible,

travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle. the met police has been given powers to exclude people from the west end in central london after disorder caused by large crowds. it followed rumours urging people to disrupt the area on social media. nine people were arrested and many shops closed their shutters. a poice dispersal order is in place until tomorrow. the parents of a student who was hit by a train have accused british transport police of failing to properly investigate his death. 19 year—old connor marron had been at the world darts championship at alexandra palace before the incident near hornsey station in january last year. his family were told officers returned to the scene to check for evidence, but were later informed this hadn't happened. we just would have thought that the first thing you would have done the next morning is that the police officers go back

where connor was found. the police officers never went back. whenever we asked the blunt question there was nothing there to prove the search was done, because there was no search done. british transport police said it launched an internal review into its handling of the case and has since implemented its recommendations. a faith leader in east london is on a mission to help young people by sharing his own journey from crime to the church. pastor 0nyeka power was in a gang as a teenager. but he eventually turned his life around and is opening up about his experiences in the hope that it helps others. that lifestyle can either lead to death or prison, but i changed chapters of my life. me now becoming a pastor, i want to use my story to impact many people. god always gave me that leadership skills, but the devil wanted me to use it in a bad way. but thank god i'm using it in a good way now, when a lot of people are saying i'm a role model for good reasons. travel now, and this is how the tube

is looking at the moment. there's no service on the bakerloo line between stonebridge park and harrow & wealdstone. there's no service on the 0verground between willesden junction and watford junction. there are minor delays on the metropolitan line between moor park and chesham. now onto the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello there. good morning. well, at last summer is back and it's feeling a lot more like august. and once again, lots of blue sky and sunshine right across the capital yesterday. it's the same sort of story again today. in fact, it's going to feel a little warmer still. now, some of us starting off this morning with some early mist, a few areas of cloud out there, but for most, a bright start to the day with plenty of blue sky and sunshine through the morning that will last into the afternoon with perhaps a bit of fairweather cloud just bubbling up here and there at times. but still some sunny spells and top temperatures of around 25 or 26 degrees, some spots, maybe 27. there's quite a light southerly breeze just pushing all of that warm, rather humid feeling air towards us. and overnight tonight, it could feel quite uncomfortable for sleeping with lows of around 16 or 17 degrees. into tomorrow, and there's a cold front sinking

down from the northwest that's going to introduce a bit more cloud around through the morning, maybe one or two scattered showers. eventually some cooler feeling air that we will be staying in for the weekend. there's more on our website including the story of the so—called ba na naman of hackney. that's it, i'm back in around half an hour. well, it won't come as news to you that the weather injuly was disappointingly wet, so it's no surprise that that many of us are looking to get away for some summer sunshine. travel agents have reported a surge in bookings for last minute beach holidays. emma can tell us more. people were starting to despair through— people were starting to despair

throuthuly. after the downpours we've had through the last month, many people have become fed up of waiting for the sunshine and booked a last minute trip abroad instead. and that of course is welcome news for travel agents. according to figures from one industry group in an average year they'd expect that only 4% of bookings would be for people's travel in the same or next month. injuly,18% of bookings, was nearly a fifth were for these last minute trips, so buying injuly for travel in august — a big yearly increase. while lastminute.com?say that nearly half of the reservations made on their site injuly were for travel the same month, again a lot higher than they'd normally expect. destination—wise many people are choosing the old favourites ?— and guaranteed sun — for last minute getaways, spain and greece are in the top two spots in terms of popularity, as they were last year. so with this late rush to squeeze in some beach time

and some warmer weather, katy austin went to eastbourne to find people in the mood for a holiday. it hasn't exactly been sunbathing weather here in eastbourne. if the washout british summer has got you dreaming of a last minute escape to somewhere a bit warmer and sunnier, you're not the only one. tour operators and travel agents say they've seen a definite trend as customers seek the sun in the likes of spain, turkey and greece. we ourselves have seen a 25% increase in last—minute bookings and that's from pre—pandemic levels. so i think it's a combination of things. the weather obviously is quite a big one, because i think we've seen a big increase since we've been forecasted we're not really getting a summer. just around the corner at this hairdresser, the weather, or how to escape it, is a hot topic. we're just going to book a last—minute holiday

because i don't want to book time off from here with me and my family and it be raining the whole week. i'm not fussy as long as it's hot, good cocktails, good food, a bit of a play area for my little boy. idon't mind. the weather was looking pretty iffy for the week. i my daughter is off school so rather than herjust lay around _ being on her phone all day, we decided to do— a quick five—day trip. a holiday isn't an option for everyone, especially during a cost of living squeeze. plus, the price of flights and hotels is generally up on last year. and if you can go away, you might find there's not much choice left. because this year in particular, many more people booked early, because they haven't been away in some cases for three years, there aren't too many last minute deals of very good value, but you can get them if you are flexible, not too fussy about which country or destination you go to. but i'd also recommend thinking of going at september, 0ctober, even november. that's a trend one travel agent who's on her own 11th hour break in portugal told us is happening.

i think people have been put off by the cost of holidays in august because they are higher than they have been in previous years. but also the heat and the fires that we've seen abroad. so people are waiting until september and actually we're getting a lot of those last minute requests for then. package holidays, especially all—inclusive, have become very popular as people try to stick to their budgets. the miserablejuly here may not have been great for uk tourism, but it has provided a boost for international travel after a tough few years. katy austin, bbc news. eastbourne didn't look all that inviting — eastbourne didn't look all that inviting. you can't blame people. i was think— inviting. you can't blame people. i was think september is such a nice month _ was think september is such a nice month |_ was think september is such a nice month. . , ~ was think september is such a nice month. ., , ~ , . month. i always think we expect or is to month. i always think we expect orgis to be _ month. i always think we expect orgis to be fabulous _ month. i always think we expect orgis to be fabulous because . month. i always think we expect orgis to be fabulous because it. 0rgis to be fabulous because it summer holidays and the kids and everything —— we expect august. it’s everything -- we expect august. it's alwa s everything —— we expect august. it�*s always hot around the time kids are doing exams in may and june. i'm

very lucky. i had three weeks of leave split up, most of it spent at home but we did have one week away but quite often like many people i stayed in the uk and both my wife and i said we hadn't been lucky enough to go away and get some sunshine, you would probably feel that it had been a bit of a damp squib. this last month. you that it had been a bit of a damp squib. this last month.- squib. this last month. you are luc to squib. this last month. you are lucky to get _ squib. this last month. you are lucky to get away _ squib. this last month. you are lucky to get away but _ squib. this last month. you are lucky to get away but that's - squib. this last month. you are. lucky to get away but that's what squib. this last month. you are i lucky to get away but that's what a lot of people are doing. because people have had enough, but it's not an option for everyone, fair enough, so if you are here, what are you going to do with the wet weather? it's ironic we are doing it today because it is a gorgeous day. the sun or is always _ because it is a gorgeous day. tue: sun or is always shining. because it is a gorgeous day. the sun or is always shining. the - because it is a gorgeous day. the sun or is always shining. the sun | because it is a gorgeous day. the i sun or is always shining. the sun is shinin: sun or is always shining. the sun is shining on — sun or is always shining. the sun is shining on you- _ sun or is always shining. the sun is shining on you. it's _ sun or is always shining. the sun is shining on you. it's looking - shining on you. it's looking wonderful. i know it's not as busy as it could be.—

coast, my goodness, they were glad of any chink in the clouds coming their way. of any chink in the clouds coming theirway. have of any chink in the clouds coming their way. have a look at this. something altogether out of the ordinary has appeared over the north wales coastline. i want you all to look up into the sky and tell me if you could see something rather unusual. halleujah chorus what is that? the sun. halleujah chorus clouds? yeah. and the sun. halleujah chorus yes, joshua. we're lucky, really, because we're all pre—shrunk and waterproof. we're used to the rain here. nothing's going to hold you back. i was five foot ten. the walking group is making the most of this because when you've holidayed in one of the wettest julys on record, even this is cause for blind optimism and celebration. so 19, 20 degrees today. i think that's a bit optimistic. we're looking at 15, to be honest.

but we're from the northeast. so we're used to cold weather. but businesses here in prestatyn have found little to celebrate this summer. the beach bar has had to move many of its beach parties indoors. you were meant to be holding ibiza beach parties here. on a perfect day, you'd have 1,000 people on the beach, probably about 500 people in here, we'd have our djs here. we'd have entertainers, we'd have dancers. the reality is, on a wet day, you're losing how much money? on a wet day, as a business, we lose about £10,000 a dayjust here. it's easy to see the cost to business when beaches that should be teeming with holidaymakers are almost empty. and the cost of wet weather holidays hits families hard, too. avril and bill, you're here with the grandkids. yes, there's kelsey, nathan, darcy and ellie mae. a big brood. fourof them.

four of them. so when it's raining, it's going to cost you a lot of money. yeah, well, bad weather means you need a lot of cash. i mean, there's lots of things you can do without money, but places like this can be very expensive. yeah, it's money, money, money. yeah. well, bill, you must have noticed the sun is out in the sky today. i know. and what the hell are we doing in here? we should be out there sunbathing. the met office has confirmed this has indeed been the uk's wettest summer for 100 years. it's been an absolute horror. combine that with the cost of living crisis and so many people, like sue and herfamily,

couldn't afford to dodge the rain by going abroad. it's too expensive. too expensive. we're on holiday with our family and our friends, and we're here for the week, come rain or shine. mostly rain. just don't let it get you down. at the end of the day, whatever the weather throws at you, you come and you enjoy it. yeah. you've got to with the kids. the great british holidaymaker is adaptable and ever—hopeful, just as businesses are. with the likes of the amusement park, we only actually trade for 120 days of the year. so it counts. every day counts. and the six—week holidays count for over 50% of our trade. so if you lose a day, it's a big loss. yeah. you get like four seasons in one go. if it rains too much, . there's not there's not enough footfall on it, - then we have to close down. how many days have you closed this summer, do you think?

we've had about seven early finishesjust in the summer. | so just from the summer holidays, about seven early finishes - and about three days we've had to close. _ so if we have a nice sunny day, you'll see me smiling. - summer isn't over yet, but bright spells like this might be as good as it gets, so make the most of it. charlene, be our carol kirkwood. what's on the way? we have got a lovely 25 degrees and we're going to have some sunblock on the beach. it is on the way. yeah. can't wait for thursday. bring it on. hello earlier indeed. we will take it because it's notjust on the way, it because it's notjust on the way, it has arrived, people, the sun is

or what the solution is to this problem. but it clearly has a problem. i don't know how they're going to sort it out and the thing is, what we see today, people do wonder, "well, how long has this been going on?" concerning for the up and coming fighters, i've had a long career and ifeel like, you know, i'm not at the stars of it or the middle of it, i'm towards the end. so if i can make out the other end healthy, i'm happy. you've got some guys that are coming through that have got all of these problems in front of them and do we say this is the last time it's going to happen in boxing? who knows? well, dillian whyte has denied taking any banned substance, both for this fight, and at any point in his career. speaking on social media, whyte said, he was 'devastated and shocked' to learn he'd failed a doping test — and asked for the time to go through the process and prove his innocence. the new premier league season kicks off tomorrow, with defending champions manchester city travelling to newly promoted burnley, while wolves kick off on monday at manchester united, which means the new wolves manager, gary o'neil, has four days to try and stabilise the team after the goings—on

in the last few days. o'neil replacesjulien lopetegui, who left the club on tuesday, concerned about the lack of spending power. o'neil was in the premier league last season, guiding bournemouth to 15th before being sacked in mid june _ well, wolves finished just above west ham last season, who look as if they're finally on the verge of adding a new face or two to their squad. they've agreed a deal to sign southampton's james ward prowse for around £30 million. and they've also agreed a deal of the same value with manchester united for harry maguire. the defender had joined united in august 2019 for a world record £80 million for a player in his position. well, maguirejoined united from leicester, and his former club are safely into round two of the league cup. they beat burton 2—0 — wilfred ndidi with leicester's second at the pirelli stadium. there was a shock elsewhere though, as league two side afc wimbledon knocked out coventry 2—1.

and they'll play chelsea in round two. all the scores and the draw for the next round can be found on the bbc sport website. meanwhile, rangers have a slight advantage going into the second leg of their champions league qualifier against swiss side servette. they won 2—1 at ibrox last night, cyriel dessers with their second. the winner of the tie will face either psv eindohoven or sturm graz in the play—off round. there are just two days to go until england's women try and move a step closer to world cup glory. they face colombia in the quarterfinals, a match they would be expecting to win. england will definitely be without laurenjames after she was sent off in the last round, but it still remains unclear as to whether it'll be a one—game or three—game ban. jane dougall is in sydney for us. a beautiful setting in sydney. good morning _ a beautiful setting in sydney. good morning. hi a beautiful setting in sydney. good

colombia have had an interesting run of results to get to the quarterfinal as they beat germany in the group stages and helped put the two—time champions out of the competition and they also had a warm up competition and they also had a warm up game against ireland before the tournament began which had to be abandoned after 20 minutes because it got so physical. i would imagine thatis it got so physical. i would imagine that is not something that england would want to have to play through, especially after that nigeria game after the extra time and penalties but you never know what will happen. and they have what they claim to be the best fans in the world so we know there will be a lot of colour in the stands and speaking of colour i will quickly get the camera to turn around, because look at this iconic shot and we can't stay on it for too long because it's so bright with the sunshine, but look at that, the harbour bridge and of course the sydney opera house. doesn't itjust scream australia to you? it looks fantastic. lucy staniforth said she climbed the bridge earlier today which is quite tall, isn't it and

england will hope they will scale those highs in the quarterfinal against colombia. i can also see in turkey there. against colombia. i can also see in turkey there-— against colombia. i can also see in turkey there. they are everywhere, the bin turkeys. _ turkey there. they are everywhere, the bin turkeys. i _ turkey there. they are everywhere, the bin turkeys. i don't _ turkey there. they are everywhere, the bin turkeys. i don't see - turkey there. they are everywhere, the bin turkeys. i don't see it. - the bin turkeys. i don't see it. from sydney _ the bin turkeys. i don't see it. from sydney to _ the bin turkeys. i don't see it. from sydney to glasgow. - great britain's emma finucane claimed her first major title as she took gold in the women's sprint at the cycling world championships in glasgow. the 20—year—old held on to beat germany's lea friedrich and was also part of the british team to take silver in the women's team sprint. finucane becomes the first british winner in the discipline since beckyjames' triumph in minsk in 2013. gb's other big medal hope for the night, katie archibald, finished fourth in the women's omnium. and it all continues until sunday and it— and it all continues until sunday and it has— and it all continues until sunday and it has been brilliant, the cycling — and it has been brilliant, the cycling world championships. 30 and it has been brilliant, the

looking at sunny spells and we could catch the odd shower and into parts of wales, may the odd shower in northern ireland, and its later we start to see them coming into the isles of scilly and later into northern ireland. it is feeling muqqy northern ireland. it is feeling muggy and a southerly breeze 15 in lerwick, 25 in glasgow on 27 in norwich and possibly 28 here. as we go through the evening and overnight into the early evening it starts to push north and east taking the rain with it and if we pick it up in the middle of the night it continues to drift north and east and it will be heaviest in scotland and we might hear the odd rumble of thunder but not much more than a band of cloud and showers into southern areas and we could see patchy mist form overnight between 11 and 17 degrees, so feeling muggy. and into tomorrow the rain quickly clears the far

north—east but it lingers in sheffield and a lot of dry weather and tomorrow will be a day are variable cloud in the cloud in the english channel could roll on shore across southern england and may be thick enough for the odd shower in the south—east later but tomorrow we could see showers pop up in scotland wales and also northern ireland but again hit and miss and a lot of us will miss them. there will be a difference in the temperature tomorrow, warm and muggy in parts of the south—east but fresher across central and western areas. and we are hanging on to 25 or 26 in the south—east and into the weekend low pressure is back and it's in the north—west of the country which means it's the north and west that will seat most of the rain and that is certainly the case on saturday and some of the showers could be heavy and thundery and we will see fewer in the south—eastern corner

and the temperatures again coming down and fewer showers if anything on sunday. carol, thank you so much. the national eisteddfod celebrates welsh arts, language and culture. it's being held in the village of boduan, which has a population of less than 500 people — but this week they're expecting more than 150,000 people to visit! our reporter sara dafydd is one of them and joins us now. it's going to be very exciting and presumably the villagers transformed?— presumably the villagers transformed? ~ ., transformed? welcome to the eisteddfod _ transformed? welcome to the eisteddfod in _ transformed? welcome to the eisteddfod in boduan - transformed? welcome to the eisteddfod in boduan and - transformed? welcome to the eisteddfod in boduan and if i transformed? welcome to the - eisteddfod in boduan and if you've never _ eisteddfod in boduan and if you've never been to the eisteddfod ought never— never been to the eisteddfod ought never heard of it before, it is a cultural — never heard of it before, it is a cultural festival, the largest of its kind, — cultural festival, the largest of its kind, notjust in the uk but in wales— its kind, notjust in the uk but in wales and — its kind, notjust in the uk but in wales and there really is something

good morning from bbc london with me, alison earle. the met police has been given powers to exclude people from the west end after disorder caused by large crowds. it followed rumours urging people to disrupt the area on social media. nine people were arrested and many shops closed their shutters. a police dispersal order is in place until tomorrow. meanwhile police have announced similar powers in southend from midday today. it follows issues last week which saw large groups descend on the city. the high street, marine parade, pier hill, western esplanade and the central train station are all covered by the order. the parents of a student who was hit by a train have accused british transport police of failing to properly investigate his death. 19—year—old connor marron had been at the world darts championship at alexandra palace before the incident near hornsey station in january last year. his family were told officers returned to the scene to check for evidence, but were later informed

that hadn't happened. we just would have thought that the first thing you would have done the next morning is that the police officers go back where connor was found. the police officers never went back. whenever we asked the blunt question there was nothing there to prove the search was done, because there was no search done. british transport police said it launched an internal review into its handling of the case and has since implemented its recommendations. a faith leader in east london is on a mission to help young people by sharing his own journey from crime to the church. pastor 0nyeka power was in a gang as a teenager. but he eventually turned his life around and is opening up about his experiences in the hope that it helps others. that lifestyle can either lead to death or prison, but i changed chapters of my life. me now becoming a pastor, i want to use my story to impact many people. god always gave me that leadership skills, but the devil wanted me to use it in a bad way. but thank god i'm using it in a good way now, when a lot of people

are saying i'm a role model for good reasons. travel now and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. issues on the bakerloo line between stonebridge park now onto the weather. hello there. good morning. well, at last summer is back and it's feeling a lot more like august. and once again, lots of blue sky and sunshine right across the capital yesterday. it's the same sort of story again today. in fact, it's going to feel a little warmer still. now, some of us starting off this morning with some early mist, a few areas of cloud out there, but for most, a bright start to the day with plenty of blue sky and sunshine through the morning that will last into the afternoon with perhaps a bit of fairweather cloud just bubbling up here and there at times. but still some sunny spells and top temperatures of around 25 or 26 degrees, some spots, maybe 27. there's quite a light southerly breeze just pushing all of that warm, rather humid feeling air towards us. and overnight tonight, it could feel quite uncomfortable for sleeping with lows of around 16 or 17 degrees. into tomorrow, and there's a cold front sinking down from the northwest that's going to introduce a bit more cloud

around through the morning, maybe one or two scattered showers. eventually some cooler feeling air that we will be staying in for the weekend. there's more on our website, including the story of the so—called banana man of hackney. that's it, i'm back in around half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. our headlines today... anger and dismay for thousands of staff at the police service of northern ireland, as the senior officers and politicians meet to discuss how their their names and workplaces were published online. an investigaton begins into the deaths of a1 migrants in the mediterranean sea after a boat capsized sailing from north africa. more people are working from home compared to last year. employers put it down to the cost of living crisis. anthonyjoshua says boxing has a doping problem. it's after his original opponent for this saturday night, dillian whyte, had to withdraw after failing a voluntary drugs test. whyte insists he's innocent. it's a muggy start to the day with some patchy fog in the south, which will lift, most of us with sunny spells, one or two isolated showers,

but the weather will change from the west later in the day. all the details later. it's thursday the 10th august. our main story... northern ireland's chief constable will be questioned this morning about the data breach which saw the names and workplaces of 10,000 police officers and staff published online. human error was blamed and the information was taken down, but there are fears that it could still be used by dissident republicans to launch new attacks on the police. our ireland correspondent, chris page, reports. a data breach on this scale would be extremely serious anywhere, but in northern ireland it's all the more so. there are fears the information could be used by paramilitary groups to target police officers. the surnames and work locations of all 10,000 police staff were put online for two hours. the problem came about after a routine request for data under freedom of information laws, but the police sent a huge excel

spreadsheet by mistake and it contained personal details. senior officers are stressing there's no specific concern at the moment that the data leak has caused an immediate security risk. but politicians say they're looking for actions which will reassure everyone affected. the chief constable, simon byrne, has cut short his holiday to be at the policing board's emergency meeting. board members say they want to hear a full assessment of the security risk. i do think that this whole senior leadership team has to answer questions, but i think, first and foremost, we need to have those in front of not only the public and the policing board, but the internal officers as well. yesterday, the police said they were investigating a second data breach. injuly, a laptop and documents were stolen from a car. they included the names of 200 workers. it's only a few months since the official threat level

for terrorism in northern ireland was raised from substantial to severe. that came following the shooting of a detective, john caldwell, by dissident republicans who are opposed to the peace process. the attempted murder brought into sharp focus again the particular dangers for the security forces here. chris page, bbc news, belfast. charlotte gallagherjoins us now from belfast. lots of people will be very concerned by this data breach. the police board will meet in a few hours and there are lots of questions to be answered. yes. everyone agrees this is a very serious situation and the policing board will want answers to three key questions. first, how could this happen? second, how is the police

force going to ensure this never happens again? third, importantly, what is the police force doing to ensure officers and other staff are safe? we know security advice for officers has been updated and in the past this has been things like checking under their cars to make sure there are no explosive devices and also varying their routes to and from work. when you listen to the stories of police officers here you understand why they are so worried. one female officer told the bbc that she had not even told her children what she does for a job in case they told someone. one politician said a police officer told him he had not been able to have dinner at his mothers house for ten years because of the security situation. the police federation say they have been inundated with calls from worried officers because unfortunately, as you heard, police officers have been a target here in the past, around

300 murdered during the troubles. in february there was an attempted murder of a senior detective. police are well aware of the dangers they face but what they wouldn't expect as their own employer publishing their details online.— their details online. thank you. i know ou their details online. thank you. i know you will — their details online. thank you. i know you will keep _ their details online. thank you. i know you will keep us _ their details online. thank you. i l know you will keep us up-to-date know you will keep us up—to—date through the morning. lots of news to round up for you this morning. wildfires in europe in recent weeks but now on the other side of the world. it's starting to seem like a sign of the times. devastating wildfires in the us state of hawaii have killed at least six people. large parts of the tourist town of lahaina on the island of maui have been burned to the ground. the flames spread rapidly, forcing some people to jump into the sea to escape. hospitals have been overwhelmed with burns patients and those suffering from smoke inhalation. officials in italy are investigating the deaths of a1 migrants who died in a shipwreck off the italian island of lampedusa.

the four survivors said their boat capsized when it was swamped by a huge wave, hours after setting off from tunisia. our reporter sofia bettiza is in rome. sofia, what is the latest? yet another tragedy we are reporting, and there will be more questions as to how soon was help available and how are these boats still managing to cross?— still managing to cross? that's riaht, still managing to cross? that's right, another _ still managing to cross? that's right, another tragedy - still managing to cross? that's right, another tragedy and i still managing to cross? that's| right, another tragedy and only still managing to cross? that's i right, another tragedy and only four people survived. a —year—old boy and three people in their 20s from the ivory coast and guinea. the authorities have opened an investigation to get to the bottom of what happened and they will question the survivors in the next few days. they are in lampedusa and doctors treating them say they are in shock but in good health

conditions, only cuts and bruises. shipwrecks like these are becoming more frequent in italy. in the last few days, nearly 2000 people were rescued and brought to lampedusa. migration is also a political issue. the italian government, like many other european governments, campaigned on a promise to clamp down on illegal migration. but if you look at the numbers, this year so far nearly 9a,000 people reached italy by boat, more than double compared to the same number last year. despite all of the tough talk by the prime minister giorgia meloni, people keep coming, and of course it is a very dangerous journey. according to the un, the most dangerous migrant crossing in the world. that is because,

according to the un, since 201a more than 17,000 people died or disappeared in the central mediterranean trying to reach italy and trying to reach europe in search of a better life.— of a better life. thank you for that. the homeware retailer wilko has suspended home deliveries as it tries to find a rescue deal to avoid collapse. the company told online customers it is unable to deliver any orders, instead instructing shoppers to use its "click and collect" service or to look for items in store. wilko has around a00 shops and 12,000 employees. patients waiting for treatment could skip queues in hospital if they are willing to travel to other parts of england for private or nhs care. the plans announced by nhs england are aimed at reducing the backlog and will see patients matched with availablility for cancer and diagnostic checks, and outpatient appointments. the actress doreen mantle, one of britain's best loved sitcom performers in the 1990s,

has died aged 97. she was best known as the well—meaning but irritating mrs worboys in the hit bbc comedy one foot in the grave. staffordshire police says it is treating a fire at a well—known18th—century pub near dudley, in the west midlands, as arson. the crooked house, described as "britain's wonkiest pub", was largely destroyed by a blaze on saturday night. it was then bulldozed, which the local council said was "unauthorised, unacceptable, and possibly unlawful". our reporter, louisa pilbeam, has more. what's left of the 250—year—old pub has now been searched by a specialist fire service dog that can sniff out accelerants used in arson. it's now a crime scene, with police confirming they believe the fire was started deliberately. this is what "britain's wonkiest pub" used to look like —

an 18th century landmark, famous for its leaning walls, that became a favourite with tourists and locals. people in the black country want answers. access was blocked to the fire brigade. we need answers as to why that happened and how the fire started and who started the fire and for what reason. and we also need answers on why they demolished what was left of the site. the crooked house pub caught fire late on saturday night. on monday, footage emerged of the remainder of the building being demolished. the local council says it didn't agree to this and are investigating if it was unlawful. police say they understand the shock and upset from local people, and are leading the criminal investigation. the bbc has approached the owners of the pub for comment but has not received a response. some historical organisations have called for it to be reconstructed. but others believe that's unrealistic and that this damage is too severe to pick up

the pieces now. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. a special edition 50 pence coin has been created to mark the coronation of king charles. five million coins will be issued, with a design based on westminster abbey, where the coronation took place. there are currently 27 billion coins in circulation from the queen's reign. perhaps the king doesn't carry cash, like his mum. and like carroll, who revealed that like the late her majesty the queen you also never carry cash. the queen of weather. you know why she really doesn't carry cash? so she doesn't have to buy you a coffee? you carry cash? so she doesn't have to

few when it was blowing a gale. a muqqy few when it was blowing a gale. a muggy day, temperatures of 1a in lerwick, 21 belfast, 26 or 27 in the far south—east. we could reach 28 in the west midlands, east anglia and parts of the southeast this afternoon. towards the end of the afternoon, a change coming, initially to the isles of scilly. this is a cold front pushing north and east through the night. the heaviest rain will be in northern ireland and scotland. you might hear thunder. it won't be much more than a band of cloud and showers further south. a muggy night and the wind changing direction, south—westerly tomorrow. tomorrow, rein in the far north—east of scotland, lingering in shetland. but a dry day for most, some showers but many of us missing

them. the english channel will come on shore at times. still muggy in south—eastern parts of england in particular but central and western areas will be fresher, although temperatures in the high teens are low 20s. it is almost a quarter past seven. we've been discussing the major data leak by the police service in northern ireland, after the names and roles of 10,000 officers and staff were published online. it follows similar breaches elsewhere, including a huge amount of data stolen from the electoral commission. so, just how safe is our personal information? we'rejoined now by the uk information commissioner, john edwards. thank you forjoining us. when you heard about this data breach, what was your initial reaction, your initial fears was your initial reaction, your initialfears and was your initial reaction, your initial fears and concerns? was your initial reaction, your

data was out there, what should you be asking for in terms of safety? the police should undertake risk analysis and i am not sure all the staff would be under the same level of risk, but some might need assistance with extra security, there might be staff who have to relocate, but that is for the police service to undertake. this is still very fresh, early in the development of this, so i expect they will still be undertaking those assessments. in terms of what you are aware of, what responsibility do employers have to protect personal data? an? responsibility do employers have to protect personal data?— protect personal data? any data controller or _ protect personal data? any data controller or holder _ protect personal data? any data controller or holder of _ protect personal data? any data controller or holder of personal| controller or holder of personal information has a responsibility to take reasonable steps to keep that safe and what those reasonable steps are depends on the level of risk and sensitivity of the information. in this case there is a very high level

of risk and sensitivity and so i would expect a high onus. something has gone wrong here. the psni has used a third party platform to upload a document in response to a freedom of information request and that platform is public facing and i would expect to look very closely at the policies and procedures associated with publishing in that way. associated with publishing in that wa . ,., associated with publishing in that wa , , ., , ., .

he knows it can rain in august but, after one of the wettestjulys on record, he believes climate change is having huge consequences for his business. what we really want is a level price at a time like this. if you worked in a shop and you earn £30,000 one year, then £40,000, then £25,000, and you're trying to pay your mortgage every month as a flat line and run a business, so we're just trying to shake out all the volatility and try and get a flat, you know, a flat price for our grain, which is much better to run a business. then you can budget and go forward and make investments and etc, etc. and do you think this prolonged spell of wet weather will impact grain prices and consumers, ultimately? domestic probably will go up £3 or £4 a tonne. i don't think it will have a huge effect, i think it can be absorbed in the supply chain, but if it continues, it will have an effect. if we don't get some nice weather at the end of august, if august is all wet, a wetjuly then a wet august, it will start to have an effect. this section of his crop has been totally flattened by the wet weather.

when it starts to seed, it's getting to the point where it may no longer be salvageable. tom needs dry weather in the next 48 hours before it'll all go to waste. on another part of the farm, tom is using a dryer to dry out the grain. it's costing him an extra £300 a day. once the grain has been harvested and dried, it's stored in this grain store. at this time of the year, it would normally be half full. as you can see, it's completely empty. the nfu says farmers are used to working in unpredictable weather. what they do need, it says, is better support from the government. and without it, farmers like tom are left looking to the sky. that was liz beacon reporting from wiltshire. it's fair to say this summer has been a bit of a washout, but going abroad isn't

an option for everyone. jane has e—mailed, agreed with you, not one for camping, she tried it once and lay down on almost every rock going. jayne mccubbin is at a campsite in winsford where some hardy and determined souls have been enjoying a trip away. we are loving it, aren't we? good morning. look at this, we have accosted you on the way to the toilet block. give us a twirl. this is standard camping attire at this time in the morning. it is hot, isn't it? the sun is out it has been miserable, bookings 25% lower than people thought they were going to be injune when the weather was great. we have been asking people how you have fun when it rains. goad we have been asking people how you have fun when it rains.— have fun when it rains. good game of monool . have fun when it rains. good game of monopoly. drinking _ have fun when it rains. good game of monopoly. drinking games. - have fun when it rains. good game of monopoly. drinking games. plenty i have fun when it rains. good game of monopoly. drinking games. plenty of

death. 19 year—old connor marron had been at the world darts championship at alexandra palace before the incident near hornsey station in january last year. his family were told officers returned to the scene to check for evidence, but were later informed that hadn't happened. we just would have thought that the first thing you would have done the next morning is that the police officers go back to where connor was found. the police officers never went back. whenever we asked the blunt question there was nothing there to prove the search was done, because there was no search done. british transport police said it launched an internal review into its handling of the case and has since implemented its recommendations. a man from south london is sharing the story of how he went from leading a gang to running a church. pastor 0nyeka power was involved with crime as a teenager. but he eventually turned his life around and is now opening up about his experiences in the hope that it helps others. that lifestyle can either lead to death or prison, but i changed chapters of my life.

me now becoming a pastor, i want to use my story to impact many people. god always gave me that leadership skills, but the devil wanted me to use it in a bad way. but thank god i'm using it in a good way now, when a lot of people are saying i'm a role model for good reasons. travel now, and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there's no service on the bakerloo line between stonebridge park and harrow & wealdstone. there's no service on the 0verground between willesden junction and watford junction. there are minor delays on the piccadilly line between south harrow and uxbridge. now onto the weather with kate kinsella. hello there. good morning. well, at last summer is back and it's feeling a lot more like august. and once again, lots of blue sky and sunshine right across the capital yesterday. it's the same sort of story again today. in fact, it's going to feel a little warmer still. now, some of us starting off this morning with some early mist, a few areas of cloud out there, but for most, a bright start to the day with plenty of blue sky and sunshine through the morning that will last into the afternoon with perhaps a bit of fairweather

cloud just bubbling up here and there at times. but still some sunny spells and top temperatures of around 25 or 26 degrees, some spots, maybe 27. there's quite a light southerly breeze just pushing all of that warm, rather humid feeling air towards us. and overnight tonight, it could feel quite uncomfortable for sleeping with lows of around 16 or 17 degrees. into tomorrow, and there's a cold front sinking down from the northwest that's going to introduce a bit more cloud around through the morning, maybe one or two scattered showers. eventually some cooler feeling air that we will be staying in for the weekend. there's more on our website including the man who's managed to grow bananas in hackney. that's it, i'm back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. we've followed the story of laura nuttall closely on the programme.

she was diagnosed with an aggressive type of brain tumour, and spent five years ticking off her bucket list of dreams — and inspiring others along the way. laura died in may, aged just 23 years old — and donated her brain for research as a way to offer hope to others with the same tumour. i caught up with her family who are continuing the campaign for better treatment. she's anything but another face in the crowd. laura nuttall�*s mum, nicola, joined a record number of delegates at the recent british neuroncology society conference in manchester, a three day event bringing together brain cancer experts from across the country to share their experiences and research. a lot of people here are either scientists or medics and actually they were really interested in what our own

experiences have been like with things like what it's like to be on the receiving end of treatment. it's been quite valuable in that sense as well to get the message out. nicola was joined by other campaigners from our brain bank who are calling for more investment to tackle a cancer, which, although it only accounts for 3% of tumours, is the biggest cancer killer of under—40s. like laura, richard's wife, jenna and esther�*s husband stewart both had the most aggressive tumour glioblastoma. one of the first things that we were told was, don't google it. what we need is more information about glioblastoma, more information about how to spot the symptoms, and in particular, more information about what you need to do fast in order to maximise the chance that you will have some benefit from treatment. it took us a while to find all the information that we needed, and so that puts a delay on things. whereas if people are told about these treatments or possible treatment options in the beginning, then things will happen sooner. research will be key to any breakthrough and the need to collect tissue from tumours so treatments can be targeted and improved.

the conference heard that new guidance for surgeons could enable that. this is considered to be an incurable disease, but something is only incurable until we find a cure. thankfully, these tumours are rare, but the flip side of that is it means that we don't have as much materialfrom patients. but with enough funding we are going to be able to make those advancements. and i do believe that there is going to be huge leaps in our ability to handle this disease. but breakthroughs also won't happen without places like this. the manchester brain bank is one of ten in the country supplying tissue to scientists across the world. it's played a crucial role in enabling new treatments for illnesses like dementia and parkinson's disease. they're now working more with tumours, all from brains donated after patients have died. what we do here at the brain bank is really the very ground floor of the type of research that needs to be done. but you can't build on research

unless you've got that ground floor. so having these brains and allowing researchers to be able to access these brains means that things will move forward instead of stagnating. laura wanted her brain to be used to help others. it's particularly valuable because the effect of the treatment she was able to access, like immunotherapy here in germany, can be analysed. it's now with 1,000 others at the brain bank. tumours tend to be studying very closely within the brain, but they extend miles away from the primary tumor. and it's not something you can treat with radiotherapy or even with chemotherapy. so it's a unique, very difficult situation to manage. a surgeon at the conference described that as invading through the brain, telling me that any eventual victory over this most sinister of cancers will come from treatments or drugs, not the blade of his scalpel. and there are reasons for cautious optimism. we've heard at this conference this week that a new treatment for patients with lower grade brain

tumours has suddenly had a very dramatic effect in delaying the progression of those tumours and for the more malignant higher grade tumours in the brain, surgical techniques, chemotherapy changes. i think there's immunotherapy treatments around the corner, so things have moved on. theyjust haven't moved on as far and as fast as we would have liked them to. any progress is too late for laura. she lived life to the full, packing more into her 23 years than many manage in a much longer lifetime. it's hoped her legacy will help others far into the future. without laura and people like laura pushing the case for brain tumors, then the work that we need to do will struggle to get done. it's what laura would have expected from me. i don't want this story to end with laura. i want to look back in five years' time and say, look what we did for you.

great to hear there is some breakthrough as a result. absolutely. time to get an update on the sport. mike, good morning. we've had such a busy summer and i know we are going into the football season but there are some other sports causing quite a few problems. boxing fans will be disappointed they bought tickets for anthony joshua — they bought tickets for anthony joshua against dillian whyte and dillian _ joshua against dillian whyte and dillian whyte fail a voluntary drugs test. dillian whyte fail a voluntary drugs test he _ dillian whyte fail a voluntary drugs test. ., , , dillian whyte fail a voluntary drugs test. . , , ., ., test. he has the six foot nine icelander- — test. he has the six foot nine icelander. it's _ test. he has the six foot nine icelander. it's not _ test. he has the six foot nine icelander. it's not who - test. he has the six foot nine icelander. it's not who you i test. he has the six foot nine i icelander. it's not who you buy tickets for. _ icelander. it's not who you buy tickets for. you _ icelander. it's not who you buy tickets for. you want _ icelander. it's not who you buy tickets for. you want to - icelander. it's not who you buy tickets for. you want to see i icelander. it's not who you buy - tickets for. you want to see dillian whyte _ tickets for. you want to see dillian whyte against anthonyjoshua but it's not _ whyte against anthonyjoshua but it's not the first time that boxing credibility— it's not the first time that boxing credibility and doping protocols have _ credibility and doping protocols have been called into question. and anthony— have been called into question. and anthonyjoshua says the sport have a doping _ anthonyjoshua says the sport have a doping problem. after saying that sport has a doping problem, anthonyjoshua added that he doesn't know how the issue can be resolved. joshua will now fight robert helenius at london's 02 arena on saturday instead, after the finnish boxer stepped in at short notice

to replace dillian whyte, who had to be withdrawn after failing a drugs test last weekend. i don't know how they're going to sort it out or what the solution is to this problem. but it clearly has a problem. and the thing is, what we see today, people do wonder, "well, how long has this been going on?" concerning for the up and coming fighters, i've had a long career and ifeel like, you know, i'm not at the start of it or the middle of it, i'm towards the end. so if i can make out the other end healthy, i'm happy. you've got some guys that are coming through that have got all of these problems in front of them and do we say this is the last time it's going to happen in boxing? who knows? well, dillian whyte has denied taking any banned substance, both for this fight and at any point in his career. speaking on social media, whyte said he was "devastated and shocked" to learn he'd failed a doping test and asked for the time to go through the process and prove his innocence.

now, when spencerjohnson dreamt about making his debut in the hundred cricket for the oval invincibles he never imagined it would be this good. the australian bowled 20 balls against the manchester originals and took three wickets and gave just one run away. his figures helped bowl the originals out for 92, giving the invincibles a 94—run victory. the invincibles women's team also won their match against the originals. and there was a double defeat too for the trent rockets. the women's team were in control against the northern superchargers, easing to victory. but they then lost five wickets for five runs and eventually finished on 125—7, losing by nine runs. the men's team lost by three runs against the superchargers. great britain's emma finucane claimed her first major title as she took gold in the women's sprint at the cycling world championships in glasgow. the 20—year—old held on to beat germany's lea friedrich and was also

part of the british team to take silver in the women's team sprint. finucane becomes the first british winner in the discipline since beckyjames' triumph in minsk in 2013. gb's other big medal hope for the night, katie archibald, finished fourth in the women's omnium. over three days, you really have to focus every day and bring it back to like your processes and take each race as it comes and not to get too carried away. but yeah, i was really determined and i really wanted it. and yeah, another side of me came out today and yeah, it definitely paid off. but that final, i literally gave everything i could on the track and i had nothing left. so yeah, i'm super proud. i was in my zone and i definitely took it to them. so yeah, it's definitely a bit of a mental game, which i do enjoy. but yeah, it's just one of them, isn't it? it's a huge day for rugby league on saturday as the challenge cup final takes place in london. on the men's side, leigh leopards will take on hull kr. it's the first time leigh have made it to the final since 1971 and is the culmination of a dramatic

change in fortunes for the club. they re—branded as the leopards less than a year ago and here's how they clawed their way to a stadium they're now calling wember—leigh music: hi ho silver lining by slade. leigh have made history. all this is part of supporting the leigh leopards. we've always dreamed about this weekend. i music: hi—ho silver lining by slade.

it will be isolated and we have a southerly breeze, so that's making feel quite worn with temperatures 22 to 27 and may be in cambridgeshire and the east midlands. not as windy as it has been in the last few days and as we head towards the latter part of the afternoon you will notice the cloud will be gathering in the south—west and we will see some rain courtesy of the weather front wrapped around this area and its moving north and east with the heaviest rain over northern ireland and scotland with the odd rumble of thunder and further south likely to be more a band of cloud with the odd shower and clear skies but the wind will have changed direction as well and it's more south—westerly than southern westerly but it is still going to be a muggy night. the rain in north—east scotland becomes ensconced in shetland and a lot of dry weather and some cloud across the english channel lapping on the

shore which might produce shower in the south—east later on and we will see a few showers crop up as we go through the course of the day but again they will be hit and miss but in central and western areas you will see will feel fresher than today in parts of eastern england will still be in the warm and muggy conditions with highs of maybe 26 degrees. and as we head into the weekend low pressure again comes back and this one won't be as potent as the last three weekends when we had low pressure crossing the shores but if you're close to it it means you are likely to see rain or showers and that is certainly the case across the north and west during the course of saturday. few if any showers in the south—east and temperatures coming down to 18 to 23 or 24 degrees and there will still be showers on sunday but fewer than saturday. d0 be showers on sunday but fewer than saturda . , ., be showers on sunday but fewer than saturda . i. , be showers on sunday but fewer than saturda . ,, , ., ~' saturday. do you prefer working face-to-face — saturday. do you prefer working face-to-face with _ saturday. do you prefer working face-to-face with colleagues i saturday. do you prefer working face-to-face with colleagues or|

interesting given that you are zoom. we announced a new policy last week which affects only those employees working in a certain distance from one of the offices. we have a brand—new office launched in london and those within a reasonable distance from the engagement harbour are asked to come in a couple of days a week but what we are finding from the organisations we work with of all shapes and sizes is that the hybrid approach which takes the best of working remotely is actually what a lot of employees want to see and there are some really interesting findings that you are talking about today. findings that you are talking about toda . ., �* findings that you are talking about toda. ., �* ., findings that you are talking about toda . ., �* ., ,~' ., findings that you are talking about toda. ., �* ., today. you've asked them to come in a coule today. you've asked them to come in a couple of — today. you've asked them to come in a couple of days _ today. you've asked them to come in a couple of days a — today. you've asked them to come in a couple of days a week, _ today. you've asked them to come in a couple of days a week, but - today. you've asked them to come in a couple of days a week, but what i today. you've asked them to come in a couple of days a week, but what if| a couple of days a week, but what if they say they don't want to? we think it's they say they don't want to? - think it's important at zoom to make sure when we have in—person interaction that there's a reason for people to come in and

sue, from liverpool, says: "i started working from home full time in april — it has pros and cons, i love being home with my dog, however i do miss the social interaction with my colleagues. seeing people face to face lets you get to know them so much better. fortunately my colleagues agree and we arrange meet ups to work together at least once a month." angela, from kent, is less positive about it. she says: "we need to experience camaraderie and learn to problem solve together. zoom and skype are great but it ism't the same as working face to face." still to come on breakfast... we're at the the national eisteddfod for a celebration of all things arts and culture in wales. sara dafydd is in the tiny village of boduan for us this morning. it started to get busier in the eisteddfod and people are arriving to set _ eisteddfod and people are arriving to set up— eisteddfod and people are arriving to set up their stalls for the day and maybe even getting ready for the first rounds _ and maybe even getting ready for the first rounds competing in the small pavilion _ first rounds competing in the small pavilion and the sun is definitely shining — pavilion and the sun is definitely shining here in the village and i

his family were told officers returned to the scene to check for evidence, but were later informed that hadn't happened. british transport police said it launched an internal review into its handling of the case and has implemented its recommendations. travel now and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there's no service on the bakerloo line between stonebridge park and harrow & wealdstone. there's no service on the 0verground between willesden junction and watford junction. there are severe delays on the district line between earls court and wimbledon. —— there are minor delays on the district line between earls court and wimbledon. now onto the weather. sunny and bright this morning with some patchy cloud this afternoon. and a similar picture this evening, but it should stay dry. expect temperatures today to get up to around 26 degrees. there's more on our website including the man who's managed to grow bananas in hackney. that's it for now, i'm back in around half an hour.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. our headlines today... anger and dismay for thousands of staff at the police service of northern ireland, as senior officers and politicians meet to discuss how their their names and workplaces were published online. an investigaton begins into the deaths of 41 migrants in the mediterranean sea after a boat capsized sailing from north africa. anthonyjoshua says boxing has a doping problem. it's after his original opponent for this saturday

night, dillian whyte, had to withdraw after failing a voluntary drugs test. whyte insists he's innocent. and after all that wet weather we've had, now many people are deciding to dodge the rain by booking a last—minute holiday somewhere hot. good morning from a campsite in sunny cheshire. bookings at places like this are down because of the terrible weather. everybody here, good morning, is still smiling. they just hope that carol will have some good news for them, that summer has arrived, evenjust good news for them, that summer has arrived, even just for one day. summer has arrived just for one day, it will be sunny, sunny spells if you have cloud at the moment, isolated showers possible. later in the day the weather changes from the west as a band of rain sweeps across as overnight introducing some pressure conditions. all the details

later. it's thursday the 10th august. northern ireland's chief constable will be questioned this morning, about the data breach which saw the names and workplaces of 10,000 police officers and staff published online. human error was blamed and the information was taken down, but there are fears that it could still be used by dissident republicans to launch new attacks on the police. our ireland correspondent, chris page, reports. a data breach on this scale would be extremely serious anywhere, but in northern ireland it's all the more so. there are fears the information could be used by paramilitary groups to target police officers. the surnames and work locations of all 10,000 police staff were put online for two hours. the problem came about after a routine request for data under freedom of information laws, but the police sent a huge excel spreadsheet by mistake and it contained personal details.

senior officers are stressing there's no specific concern at the moment that the data leak has caused an immediate security risk. but politicians say they're looking for actions which will reassure everyone affected. the chief constable, simon byrne, has cut short his holiday to be at the policing board's emergency meeting. board members say they want to hear a full assessment of the security risk. i do think that this whole senior leadership team has to answer questions, but i think, first and foremost, we need to have those in front of not only the public and the policing board, but the internal officers as well. yesterday, the police said they were investigating a second data breach. injuly, a laptop and documents were stolen from a car. they included the names of 200 workers. it's only a few months since the official threat level for terrorism in northern ireland was raised from substantial to severe.

that came following the shooting of a detective, john caldwell, by dissident republicans who are opposed to the peace process. the attempted murder brought into sharp focus again the particular dangers for the security forces here. chris page, bbc news, belfast. charlotte gallagherjoins us now from belfast. lots of psni employees will be worried to say the least this morning. the police board will meet in a few hours and there are lost lots of questions to find answers to. ., , ., , ., , lots of questions to find answers to. ,., lots of questions to find answers to. lots of questions and lots of worried staff _ to. lots of questions and lots of worried staff here. _ to. lots of questions and lots of worried staff here. the - to. lots of questions and lots of worried staff here. the chief i worried staff here. the chief constable has come home from his holiday in order to deal with this problem. there are three key questions the policing board will want him to answer. first, how could this happen? second, how will they

make sure this never happens again? third, crucially, how is the police force going to keep its own officers safe? we know they have updated security advice to officers and in the past that has included things like checking under their car to make sure there are no explosive devices, and also varying their routes to and from work. officers here are very worried. they were already concerned about the security situation. one female police officer told the bbc she has not even told her children what she does as a job in case they tell someone. one politician he said a police officer told them they had not been able to have a meal at their mother's house for ten years because of the security situation. the police federation which represents officers here say they have been inundated with calls because we know that police officers have been a target year, around 300 murdered during the

troubles, and then in february the attempted murder of a detective. police are well aware of the dangers and threats that they face but of course what they would never expect is for their own employer to reveal their identities online. lots is for their own employer to reveal their identities online.— their identities online. lots more to re ort their identities online. lots more to report i'm _ their identities online. lots more to report i'm sure _ their identities online. lots more to report i'm sure during - their identities online. lots more to report i'm sure during the - their identities online. lots more i to report i'm sure during the course of the day. lots more to catch up on if you are just getting up and getting out this morning. starting with another tragedy in the mediterranean. yes, too many we are reporting now. officials in italy are investigating the deaths of 41 migrants who died in a shipwreck off the italian island of lampedusa. the four survivors said their boat capsized when it was swamped by a huge wave, hours after setting off from tunisia. our reporter sofia bettiza is in rome. as you have reported, this is

something, when we look at these boats, these are problems countries all across mainland europe are dealing with, but these tragedies just appear to be happening way too often and not enough being done about it. ., �* , often and not enough being done about it. ., v �* , often and not enough being done about it. . �*, ~ , i. often and not enough being done about it. . �*, a about it. that's right. as you said, another tragedy _ about it. that's right. as you said, another tragedy in _ about it. that's right. as you said, another tragedy in the _ about it. that's right. as you said, i another tragedy in the mediterranean sea with only four survivors, 41 people dead. and the people who survived told rescuers that when their boat capsized they managed to stay alive by holding on to life jackets and other devices that they found in the water. they finally got onto an abandoned boat and waited there for days without any food or water. the italian authorities have opened an investigation into what happened. they will question all the survivors in the next few days. as you mentioned, this is a political issue as well. the italian government, like other governments

in europe, was elected on a promise to clamp down on illegal migration. but if you look at the numbers, more than —— nearly 94,000 migrants have reached italy in the last few months, a really big number. so far, the prime minister, giorgia meloni, has failed to deliver on that promise. if you look at what is being done, last month the eu signed a deal with tunisia to try to stop illegal migration. tunisia is now the country where most migrants are setting off to try to reach europe. the real issue is that this is such a dangerous journey. the real issue is that this is such a dangerousjourney. according to the un it is the most dangerous migrant crossing in the world. that is because since 2014 more than 17,000 migrants have died in the

central mediterranean, trying to reach italy and reach europe. searching for a better life. thank ou. devastating wildfires in the us state of hawaii have killed at least six people. large parts of the tourist town of lahaina on the island of maui have been burned to the ground. the flames spread rapidly, forcing some people to jump into the sea to escape. hospitals have been overwhelmed with burns patients and those suffering from smoke inhalation. home secretary suella braverman has called for those responsible for disorder on oxford street in london to be "hunted down" and jailed. nine people were arrested last night after posts on the social media platform tiktok appeared to encourage group shoplifting. the homeware retailer wilko has suspended home deliveries as it tries to find a rescue deal to avoid collapse. the company told online customers it is unable to deliver any orders, instead instructing shoppers to use its "click and collect" service or to look for items in store. wilko has around 400 shops

and 12,000 employees. staffordshire police say it is treating a fire at a well—known18th—century pub near dudley, in the west midlands, as arson. the crooked house, described as "britain's wonkiest pub," was largely destroyed by a blaze on saturday night. it was then bulldozed, which the local council said was "unauthorised, unacceptable, and possibly unlawful". our reporter, louisa pilbeam, has more. what's left of the 250—year—old pub has now been searched by a specialist fire service dog that can sniff out accelerants used in arson. it's now a crime scene, with police confirming they believe the fire was started deliberately. this is what "britain's wonkiest pub" used to look like — an 18th century landmark, famous for its leaning walls, that became a favourite with tourists and locals. people in the black country want answers.

access was blocked to the fire brigade. we need answers as to why that happened and how the fire started and who started the fire and for what reason. and we also need answers on why they demolished what was left of the site. the crooked house pub caught fire late on saturday night. on monday, footage emerged of the remainder of the building being demolished. the local council says it didn't agree to this and are investigating if it was unlawful. police say they understand the shock and upset from local people, and are leading the criminal investigation. the bbc has approached the owners of the pub for comment but has not received a response. some historical organisations have called for it to be reconstructed. but others believe that's unrealistic and that this damage is too severe to pick up the pieces now. louisa pilbeam, bbc news.

a special edition 50 pence coin has been created to mark the coronation of king charles. five million coins will be issued, with a design based on westminster abbey, where the coronation took place. there are currently 27 billion coins in circulation from the queen's reign. as we have been discussing, increasingly people are not using cash. i never used my card, always used cash, and even i use my card. do you never carry cash? maybe for a bit of parking. i will always have a little bit, i'm nervous of not having it. carol is the one to ask for for a drink, aren't you? what is this behind you? today is supposed to be

the day of 27, 20 8 degrees, sunshine, the summer we have all been waiting for. this sunshine, the summer we have all been waiting for.— been waiting for. this is the start ofthe been waiting for. this is the start of the day with _ been waiting for. this is the start of the day with temperatures - been waiting for. this is the start of the day with temperatures you will get to this afternoon. some of us start on a cloudy note. this picture shows what it is like in north queensferry at the moment, but this cloud should break and we should see sunny spells developing. notjust parts of scotland with the cloud, parts of eastern england, northern ireland, the south—west and the channel islands starting off cloudy. in between there is still a fair bit of sunshine. much less windy today as well. some patchy fog in southern england which should lift and we will see the cloud breaking and sunny spells developing. hanging on to the sunshine, wales, the midlands, east anglia. northern ireland, northern england and scotland where we have cloud, it should break. isolated

showers through the day, central and southern scotland, northern ireland, west wales and also the west midlands, but they will be isolated and not all of us catching one. with our southerly breeze, feeling quite muggy. temperatures 22—26, 27, we could get 28 in cambridgeshire, east anglia and the midlands. later in the afternoon, we start to see some showers coming in and as we go through this evening and overnight summer rain pushes across northern ireland and scotland, where it will be heaviest with the odd rumble of thunder. in the south, remaining showery but not much more than a band of cloud but tonight it will be muqqy band of cloud but tonight it will be muggy again. the wind subtly changing direction to south—westerly. tomorrow starts with rain in north—east scotland, lingering in shetland but most of us having a dry day. cloud in the english channel will come on shore

at times. the odd shower in the south—east from that. isolated showers through the day but most will miss them. something fresher than today in coastal areas. but muqqy than today in coastal areas. but muggy with high temperatures in eastern and south—eastern england. then rain coming our way on saturday and a few showers on sunday. even though there is some good weather today, eventually, it was disappointing injuly and lots of people i think theyjust had enough, they need to get some sunshine somewhere. travel agents have reported a surge in bookings for last minute beach holidays. emma can tell us more. nobody was getting a suntan injuly here. after the downpours we've had

through the last month, many people have become fed up of waiting for the sunshine and booked a last—minute trip abroad instead. and that of course is welcome news for travel agents. according to figures from one industry group, in an average year they'd expect that only 4% of bookings would be for people's travel in the same or next month. injuly, 18% of bookings, nearly a fifth, were for these last—minute trips, so buying injuly for travel in august, a big yearly increase. and lastminute.com say that nearly half of the reservations made on their site injuly were for travel the same month, again a lot higher than they'd normally expect. destination—wise, many people are choosing the old favourites, and for guaranteed sun, for last—minute getaways, spain and greece are in the top two spots in terms of popularity, as they were last year.

so with this late rush to squeeze in some beach time and some warmer weather, katy austin went to eastbourne to find people in the mood for a holiday. it hasn't exactly been sunbathing weather here in eastbourne. if the wash—out british summer has got you dreaming of a last—minute escape to somewhere a bit warmer and sunnier, you are not the only one. tour operators and travel agents say they have seen a definite trend as customers seek the sun in the likes of spain, turkey and greece. we ourselves have seen a 25% increase in last—minute bookings and that's from pre—pandemic levels, so i think it's a combination of things, the weather is obviously a big one because we have seen a big increase since we have been forecasting that we are not really getting a summer. just round the corner at this hairdresser, the weather, or how to escape it, is a hot topic. we are just going to book a last—minute holiday because i don't want to book time

off for me and my family and it be raining the whole week. i am not fussy as long as it is hot, good cocktails, good food, bit of a play area for my little boy, i don't mind. the weather was looking pretty iffy for the week my daughter is off school so, rather than just lay around being on her phone all day, we decided to do a quick five—day trip. a holiday isn't an option for everyone, especially during a cost of living squeeze, plus the price of flights and hotels is generally up on last year. and if you can go away, you might find there is not much choice left. because this year in particular, many more people booked early because they hadn't been away, in some cases for three years, there aren't too many last—minute deals at very good value, but you can get them if you are flexible, not too fussy about which country's destinations you go to, but i also recommend going in september, october, even november. that is a trend one travel agent, who is on her own 11th hour break in portugal, told us is happening.

i think people have been put off by the cost of holidays in august because they are higher than they have been in previous years, but also the heat and the fires that we have seen abroad, so people are waiting until september and we're actually getting a lot of those last—minute requests for then. package holidays, especially all—inclusive, have become very popular as people try to stick to their budgets. the miserablejuly here may not have been great for uk tourism but it has provided a boost for international travel after a tough few years. katy austin, bbc news. so plenty of people have seemingly given up on the british summer turning around this year, but of course many others will still be hoping the brighter weather continues as they head off around the uk. are you a last—minute person? i are you a last-minute person? i like to ian are you a last-minute person? i like to [an it.

we're lucky, really, because we're all pre—shrunk and waterproof. we're used to the rain here. nothing's going to hold you back. i was five foot ten. the walking group is making the most of this because when you've holidayed in one of the wettest julys on record, even this is cause for blind optimism and celebration. so 19, 20 degrees today. i think that's a bit optimistic. we're looking at 15, to be honest. but we're from the northeast. so we're used to cold weather. but businesses here in prestatyn have found little to celebrate this summer. the beach bar has had to move many of its beach parties indoors. you were meant to be holding ibiza beach parties here. on a perfect day, you'd have 1,000 people on the beach, probably about 500 people in here, we'd have our djs here. we'd have entertainers,

we'd have dancers. the reality is, on a wet day, you're losing how much money? on a wet day, as a business, we lose about £10,000 a dayjust here. it's easy to see the cost to business when beaches that should be teeming with holidaymakers are almost empty. and the cost of wet weather holidays hits families hard, too. avril and bill, you're here with the grandkids. yes, there's kelsey, nathan, darcy and ellie mae. a big brood. fourof them. four of them. so when it's raining, it's going to cost you a lot of money. yeah, well, bad weather means you need a lot of cash. i mean, there's lots of things you can do without money, but places like this can be very expensive. yeah, it's money, money, money. yeah. but, bill, you must have noticed the sun is out in the sky today. i know. and what the hell are we doing in here?

we should be out there sunbathing. the met office has confirmed this has indeed been the uk's wettest summer for 100 years. it's been an absolute horror. combine that with the cost of living crisis and so many people, like sue and herfamily, couldn't afford to dodge the rain by going abroad. it's too expensive. too expensive. we're on holiday with our family and our friends, and we're here for the week, come rain or shine. mostly rain. just don't let it get you down. at the end of the day, whatever the weather throws at you, you come and you enjoy it. yeah. you've got to with the kids.

the great british holidaymaker is adaptable and ever—hopeful, just as businesses are. with the likes of the amusement park, we only actually trade for 120 days of the year. so it counts. every day counts. and the six—week holidays count for over 50% of our trade. so if you lose a day, it's a big loss. you get like four seasons in one go. if it rains too much, there's not enough footfall on it, i then we have to close. how many days have you closed this summer, do you think? we've had about seven early finishesjust in the summer. | so just from the summer holidays, about seven early finishes - and about three days we've had to close. _ so if we have a nice sunny day, you'll see me smiling. - summer isn't over yet, but bright spells like this might be as good as it gets, so make the most of it. charlene, be our carol kirkwood. what's on the way? we have got a lovely 25 degrees and we're going to have some

sunblock on the beach. it is on the way. yeah. can't wait for thursday. bring it on. just as she predicted, thursday has arrived and it has brought with it the sun. give me a hallelujah. we are all feeling at this morning. come and meet katie, what is on the menu? we come and meet katie, what is on the menu? ~ ., come and meet katie, what is on the menu? ~ . , , ., come and meet katie, what is on the menu? . . , , ., ., , menu? we have this year and this over here- — menu? we have this year and this over here. lots _ menu? we have this year and this over here. lots of _ menu? we have this year and this over here. lots of eager— menu? we have this year and this over here. lots of eager people i over here. lots of eager people waitin: over here. lots of eager people waiting to _ over here. lots of eager people waiting to enjoy. _ over here. lots of eager people waiting to enjoy. how _ over here. lots of eager people waiting to enjoy. how was - over here. lots of eager people waiting to enjoy. how was your| over here. lots of eager people - waiting to enjoy. how was yourjuly? can't remember it at all. but the kids still come and they line up

19 year—old connor marron had been at the world darts championship at alexandra palace before the incident near hornsey station in january last year. his family were told officers returned to the scene to check for evidence, but were later informed that hadn't happened. we just would have thought that the first thing you would have done the next morning is that the police officers go back to where connor was found. the police officers never went back. whenever we asked the blunt question there was nothing there to prove the search was done, because there was no search done. british transport police said it launched an internal review into its handling of the case and has since implemented its recommendations. a man from south london is sharing the story of how he went from leading a gang to running a church. pastor 0nyeka power was involved with crime as a teenager. but he eventually turned his life around and is now opening up about his experiences in the hope that it helps others.

that lifestyle can either lead to death or prison, but i changed chapters of my life. me now becoming a pastor, i want to use my story to impact many people. god always gave me that leadership skills, but the devil wanted me to use it in a bad way. but thank god i'm using it in a good way now, when a lot of people are saying i'm a role model for good reasons. travel now and this is how the tube is looking at the moment. there's no service on the bakerloo line between stonebridge park and harrow & wealdstone. there's no service on the 0verground between willesden junction and watford junction. there are minor delays on the district line between earl's court and wimbledon westbound only. now onto the weather with elizabeth. hello there. good morning. well, at last summer is back and it's feeling a lot more like august. and once again, lots of blue sky and sunshine right across the capital yesterday. it's the same sort of story again today. in fact, it's going to feel a little warmer still. now, some of us starting off this morning with some early mist,

a few areas of cloud out there, but for most, a bright start to the day with plenty of blue sky and sunshine through the morning that will last into the afternoon with perhaps a bit of fairweather cloud just bubbling up here and there at times. but still some sunny spells and top temperatures of around 25 or 26 degrees, some spots, maybe 27. there's quite a light southerly breeze just pushing all of that warm, rather humid feeling air towards us. and overnight tonight, it could feel quite uncomfortable for sleeping with lows of around 16 or 17 degrees. into tomorrow, and there's a cold front sinking down from the northwest that's going to introduce a bit more cloud around through the morning, maybe one or two scattered showers. eventually some cooler feeling air that we will be staying in for the weekend. there's more on our website including the man who's managed to grow bananas in hackney. that's it, i'm back in around half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson.

he protests his innocence, and joshua will now fight robert helenius instead after the finnish boxer stepped in at short notice to replace whyte. i don't know how they're going to sort it out or what the solution is to this problem. but it clearly has a problem. and the thing is, what we see today, people do wonder, "well, how long has this been going on?" concerning for the up and coming fighters, i've had a long career and ifeel like, you know, i'm not at the start of it or the middle of it, i'm towards the end. so if i can make it out the other end healthy, i'm happy. you've got some guys that are coming through that have got all of these problems in front of them and do we say this is the last time it's going to happen in boxing? who knows? well, dillian whyte has denied taking any banned substance, both for this fight, and at any point in his career. speaking on social media, whyte said, he was 'devastated and shocked' to learn, he'd failed a doping test — and asked for the time, to go through the process and prove his innocence. the new premier league season kicks off tomorrow, with defending champions manchester city travelling to newly promoted burnley, while wolves kick off on monday

at manchester united. which means the new wolves manager, gary o'neil, has four days to try and stabilise the team after the goings on in the last few days. o'neil replacesjulen lopetegui, who left the club on tuesday, concerned about the lack of spending power. o'neil was in the premier league last season, guiding bournemouth to 15th before being sacked in mid june. well, wolves finished just above west ham last season, who look as if they're finally on the verge of adding a new face or two to their squad. they've agreed a deal to sign southampton's james ward prowse for around £30 million, and they've also agreed a deal of the same value with manchester united for harry maguire. the defender had joined united in august 2019, for a world record £80 million for a defender. maguirejoined united from leicester and his former club are safely into round two of the league cup. they beat burton 2—0, wilfred ndidi with leicester's second at the pirelli stadium. there was a shock elsewhere though

as league two side afc wimbledon knocked out coventry 2—1, and they'll play chelsea in round two. all the scores and the draw for the next round can be found on the bbc sport website. next to glasgow, and a new star at the cycling world championships as great britain's emma finucane claimed herfirst major title as she took gold in the women's sprint. the 20—year—old held on to beat germany's lea friedrich and was also part of the british team to take silver in the women's team sprint. finucane becomes the first british winner in the discipline since beckyjames' triumph in minsk in 2013. gb's other big medal hope for the night, katie archibald, finished fourth in the women's omnium. i wonder what the weather will be like for the road races coming up this weekend and for the start of the women's open in surrey, the final major of the year. fingers

today. jon goodwin, from newcastle, will board the 'vss unity�* for a 90—minute trip — after securing his ticket 18 years ago! sophie long can tell us more. i've been waiting a quarter of my life on this earth to go into space. at 80 years old, jon goodwin is an olympian, an accomplished adventurer, and now almost an astronaut. this has been a long time coming. he bought his ticket for $200,000 nearly 20 years ago. jon goodwin... here he is talking to bbc breakfast in 2014. i was never...envisaged wanting to go into space, but the opportunity as a bit of an adventurer to actually go to 70 miles high, see the curvature of the earth,

the blackness of space, going weightless, and all these things, was an opportunity that i couldn't miss. the news he received that same year made him think he might. jon was diagnosed with parkinson's disease, which damages parts of the brain, and its progression is impossible to predict. i was pretty convinced that they were going to turn round to me and say, "you're not able to go." but they have been fantastic. the fact that i can defy my parkinson's... three years ago, i climbed kilimanjaro and cycled down, just to prove that it wasn't going to get me. and this is the same thing. going to space despite the parkinson's... and sojon is now finally preparing to board the spaceship unity. he'll bejoined on his mission by keisha schahaff from antigua and her daughter, ana mayers, who studies in aberdeen.

they'll be the first mother and daughter to travel together to space. such an interesting man. he is one of the most incredible people i've ever met. he's such a daredevil. this guy lives. as we re—enter the atmosphere, it creates a very loud noise. i the three have undergone four days of training at spaceport america. the pilots who will be in control, much more. so this is the flight simulator where the pilots do the vast majority of their on—the—ground training, and they'll actually come in here hours before the actual mission itself and do one last flight profile with all the latest data to hand. at the moment, conditions look perfect. all three hope their adventure will be an inspiration to others to reach beyond what they think is possible. some 800 people have already bought tickets in the hope of following in their footsteps and their flight path. the sky is no longer the limit. sophie long, bbc news, spaceport america, new mexico. joining us now is dhara patel

warm welcome. welcome to the nation's phone in. here is a very important question. do we take periods seriously? two major retailers are asking for vat to be removed from period pants. other sanitary products have been exempt since 2021 — do we take periods seriously? when i mentioned we were doing this my family what's up has been messaging. spain entitling workers to paid menstrual leave. it is a timber all over the world, in different cultures and religions, periods are not clean, shameful, and should be hidden. 500 million women globally do not have access to the facilities they need to merely manage their

periods. and what about us right here?
